Business of the House — Require MPs to Provide Explanatory Statements Along With Amendments to Bills They Propose — 6 Nov 2013 at 20:15
The majority of MPs voted against requiring MPs to provide explanatory statements to accompany amendments they propose to Bills.
MPs were considering a motion:
- That this House
- approves the recommendation contained in paragraph 21 of the Procedure Committee’s Fourth Report of Session 2012-13, Explanatory statements on amendments, HC 979, noting that the Public Bill Office will assist Members as required in the preparation of such statements.
This vote was on a rejected amendment which replaced the above motion with:
- That this House
- notes the recommendation contained in paragraph 21 of the Procedure Committee’s Fourth Report of Session 2012-13, Explanatory statements on amendments, HC 979; and
- resolves that explanatory statements on amendments be mandatory, subject to guidelines to be issued under the authority of the Chair’.
